• Recommendations for Converting a Trailer with a 6-way Round to a 4-way
  What I would do in your situation is cut off the square connector and install a 4-Pole Trailer End Connector # 18004 instead. This way the wiring harness # 118410 that you ordered will plug right in, and if you ever have to tow the trailer with a different vehicle it would work. You will need to wire the 4-way in by function to the 4 wires that got cut off. You can either use a power source to put voltage on the circuit so that you figure out what wire does what, or you can trace the wires...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Kia Sedona
  I have a way better hitch for you but the frame on your 2012 Kia Sedona is not wide enough for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13900. Instead you will want the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch item # 75421. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Sedona with included hardware. It does not require any drilling. I recommended this hitch because it has a 2" receiver which will give you the widest options for accessories but also because this hitch has a 3,500 lbs capacity. You...

• Easier to Install Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2009 Kia Sedona
  We have pretty easy to install trailer wiring kits that fit your 2009 Kia Sedona like the Tekonsha part # 118410 which does not require splicing into your vehicle wiring but we don't have a simple plug and play kit that would plug into a port at the rear of your vehicle. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

• Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2012 Kia Sedona
  You are definitely on the right track. You will first want to install a wiring harness with a 4-way flat connector like the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness, # 118410, that you referenced. You could simply run lengths of wires from a vehicle side 7-way socket and wire the socket yourself, but that would involve splicing into your vehicles tail light wiring, which I would not recommend. That route would also be very time consuming and tedious. Instead, after you install the plug-in style...

• What Brake Controller and Module for 1997 GMC Topkick 6500 Towing 10 Ton Trailer
  Depending on how your Topkick is equipped, you may need up to 3 items to install a brake controller. If the vehicle does not already have a trailer wiring harness you will first need to install a 4-way wiring harness. Since you seem to have a heavy-duty trailer, we recommend a heavy-duty powered converter, # 119290KIT, rated for 15.9 amps. Next you will need a 4 and 6 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC6. I have included a link to the installation details for this item. This will provide a required...

• Brake Controller Installation on 2012 Kia Sedona
  How to proceed from here will depend on what you've completed up to this point. If you've installed a 4-pole already, you'll just need our Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC7. The kit contains everything needed to install the controller, with the exception of the brake controller itself and a functional 4-pole trailer connector on the Sedona. Since I'm not 100 percent positive what you've already completed, I'll start from scratch, and you can disregard the parts that don't apply. The...

• How Can I Tell If 2009 Kia Sedona Is Short Or Long Wheel Base And What Hitch To Use
  On the 2009 Kia Sedona, the long wheelbase has the third row seating that will fold into the floor. The short wheelbase does not have that feature. The Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13345, is for the long wheelbase Kia Sedona. It is a bolt-on application with no drilling required. If you have the short wheelbase Kia Sedona then you will use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75551. The installation on this hitch does require removal of the tie-down hook and there is a access hole on the passengers...

• Troubleshooting 4-Way on 2007 Kia Sedona with Only LeftStop/Turn Signal Working
  It sounds like the wiring for your 4-Way connector is either damaged or the unit itself is worn out. You can try using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to pierce the wiring harness at different points (if the wiring itself looks good) to determine where the signal drop off occurs. It is always best to check your ground connection as well. If you are able to locate where the drop off is then you can simply replace the 4-Way with part # 18252 but instead of using the quick splicers it...

• Troubleshooting a Possible Faulty Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2008 Kia Sedona
  Sounds like the power converter on your T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118410, has shorted out and will need to be replaced. The converter is designed to divert the lighting signal when you turn on your lights or use the brakes or the turn signals on your Sedona. If these functions are not working properly, then the issue is in the converter box. Before you replace it you will want to inspect the wiring of your trailer to see if you can find anything that would cause the box to short...

• Will T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118410 Drain the Vehicle Battery
  The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118410 is not going to drain the vehicle battery unless there is something plugged into the 4-Way that is drawing power. If the power wire for the harness is touching bare metal somewhere it could be shorting and that would draw power. But if it is installed correctly and nothing is drawing power when plugged into the 4-Way then it will not drain the battery because the power has no where to go. The wire that connects to the vehicle battery has to be...

• Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2007 Kia Sedona
  The correct T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2007 Kia Sedona is part # 118410. This harness is plug-n-play but it plugs in behind the tail lights. There isn't a tow package port on the Sedona so they don't make an option like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118252. I know this means more work but it's still a splice free option which is a huge plus. It's not difficult either per se, just takes more time. If you don't already have a trailer hitch in mind, the Draw Tite Trailer...

• Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Kia Sedona LX Long Wheel Base
  What you can do is measure the wheel base of your 2007 Kia Sedona to determine if you need the long wheel base hitch, # C13345 or the short wheel base hitch, # 75551. The long wheel base is 119 inches. The short wheel base will be 113.8 inches. Measure from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel. From what we have found, the LX and EX models are long wheel base models. They will also have a third row of seating. I still recommend measuring to be sure. For either...

• Right Turn Signal and Brake Light not Working on T-One Wiring Harness for 2008 Kia Sedona
  My records show that you purchased the T-One Wiring Harness, # 118410, for your 2008 Kia Sedona. It is possible that the converter box shorted out on the wiring harness when the wires frayed. To see if everything is still functioning properly, I recommend using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to check the functioning of the 4-way on the vehicle. I would start by testing the wires going into the converter box. The white wire is going to be your ground on this harness. The yellow wire...

• Problems with Trailer Wiring Working Intermittently on a 2012 Kia Sadona
  If the wiring harness you have is the correct harness for your Sedona and is working intermittently, you can most likely solve the issue by doing a bit of troubleshooting. Check the ground wire connection first. Make sure it is attached to a clean metal surface that is free of corrosion, paint and primer. Next check the connectors to make sure none of the pins in the connectors are bent and that the connectors are fully seated an the locking tabs are engaged fully. If you cannot get the...

• Ground Clearance of Curt Trailer Hitch After Installation on 2010 Kia Sedona
  After installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13345 on your 2010 Kia Sedona you will have about 9 inches of clearance from the ground. The reason for that is, it measures 11 inches from the TOP of the receiver tube to the ground (as you can see in the accompanying photo), and the receiver on this hitch is 2 inches, leaving you with 9 inches of clearance. This is a Class III hitch that is a complete bolt-on installation so no drilling is required into your Sedona's frame, which is not only...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Running Light Circuit on a 2009 Kia Sedona That Stopped Working
  Based on what you stated it would sound like the trailer wiring harness converter box you have installed on your 2009 Kia Sedona has shorted out and is in need of replacing. What you described doing is the correct way to test a converter box for being functional. For a new trailer wiring harness you would want the part # 118410.

• Trailer Wiring Solution for a 1996 Forest River Pop Up with 6-Way Square
  We have a solution for you, but we do not carry the adapter you are looking for. A much easier solution would be to cut off the connector on your trailer and replace it with a 7-way like part # H20043 since that would make your trailer easier to connect to your vehicle and other vehicles. You would need to determine the functions of each of the wires on your trailer first. You can do this by running a jumper cable to each of the wires from a 12 volt battery. Once you do that you can then...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Harness on 2008 Hyundai Entourage
  The first thing I'd recommend you do is troubleshoot the wiring harness, I've linked you to an FAQ article that explains how to do this. If you confirm that the trailer wiring harness is faulty, you'd want to remove it before installing the # 118410. It's theoretically possible to simply cut the wires and remove the old converter and splice in the new one. However, the short that damaged the converter box might have been caused by a damaged portion of the remaining trailer wiring, which...

• Trailer Lights Go Out When Plugged into 2007 Hyundai Entourage
  It sounds like you have to much draw on the system, if you are not blowing fuses, for the car to handle the trailer lights with this wiring harness. If the connector is working properly without the vehicle lights plugged in the vehicle is not designed to handle the draw placed on it with the trailer hooked up. In this case you will need a powered wiring harness, item number 118410 for your 2007 Hyundai Entourage. This harness will supply power to the brake lights on the trailer separate...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2012 Kia Sedona
  Installation of the parts for your 2012 Kia Sedona is definitely something you can do. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13345 for your trailer hitch which comes with all the mounting bolts and should take about 15 minutes to install because there are already nuts welded inside your frame so it is simply adding bolts and washers then torqueing them to spec.

  On the product page for wiring harness # 118410 there is a section called specs below the description. The warranty for this item is listed there and is a 1-year limited warranty. Since you are having repeated problems with the wiring harness there may be some outside factor contributing to their failure.
